Answer is : B

Viruses are non-living infectious agents that only reproduce when present inside the body of another organism. Viruses need a host to infuse their DNA to replicate. Outside the host body, they crystallized.

B, they must enter the cell of another organism.

Viruses are nonliving, meaning they cannot reproduce with other viruses. It must have a host cell to inject it's DNA into in order to reproduce.

eimsori [14]

Answer:

C. Anaphase

Explanation:

Taxol's primary action is to bind to microtubules, especially β-tubulin, and prevent their depolymerization, thereby stabilizing mitotic spindle during anaphase of mitosis which leads to arrest of cell cycle.

_________ is an agent that kills bacteria. germicide antiseptic bactericidal antiviral

umka21 [38]

The agent that kills bacteria is called bactericidal. Bactericidal agents act directly by destroying the present bacteria. It is also different from bacteriostatic, because bacteriostatic means the inhibition of the spread and growth of bacteria only.

Bob, a nutritionist who works for the university medical center, has been asked to prepare special diets for two patients, susan

abruzzese [7]

Answer and Explanation:

Possibly, you forgot to attach the table with the contents of each food. Therefore, I calculated the task with similar values.

1. Assume you have Food A, B, and C. Each has certain amount of Calcium, Iron, and Vit C.

Let's designate: Calcium → X oz , Iron → Y oz, vit C → Z oz

2. Assume you have following amount of Calcium in each food:

Food A = 30 mg/oz
Food B = 25 mg/oz
Food C = 20 mg/oz

3. Assume you have following amount of Iron in each food:

Food A = 1 mg/oz
Food B = 1 mg/oz
Food C = 2 mg/oz

4. Assume you have following amount of vit C in each food:

Food A = 2 mg/oz
Food B = 5 mg/oz
Food C = 4 mg/oz

Calculations:

→ You have 3 different food and each has Calcium in it. You need exactly 320mg of Calcium per day. Therefore, each food would comprise certain proportion of daily Calcium intake. We can come up with equation: 30X+25Y+20Z = 390 mg

Similarly, for iron and vitamin C, the next equations could be used:

X+Y+2Z=17 - Iron

2X+5Y+4Z=42 - Vit C

→ Now you have a system of equations:

30X+25Y+20Z = 390 (1)

X+Y+2Z=17 (2)

2X+5Y+4Z=42 (3)

→ Look for similarities! (1) and (3) seem to be similar. We can multiply the (3) by -5 to obtain: -10X-25Y-20Z=-210. We add the (1) and modified (3) equations.

30X+25Y+20Z = 390

-10X-25Y-20Z=-210

__________________

20X+0+0=180

20X=180

→ X=9 (oz of Calcium)

→ Now, we can put x=9 into equations above to ease our job:

270+25Y+20Z=390 → 25Y+20Z=390-270=120

9+Y+Z=17 → Y+2Z=17-9=8

18+5Y+4Z=42 → 5Y+4Z=42-18=24

→ Similarly, we can use Eq-s (2) and (3). We can multiply the (2) by -5 to obtain: -5Y-10Z=-40. We add the (3) and modified (2) equations.

-5Y-10Z=-40

5Y+4Z=24

__________________

-6Z=-24

Z=4

→ Z=4 (oz of vit C)

→ Now, we can take X+Y+Z=17 (2) and just put in known values(X=9 and Z=4) to obtain Y:

9+Y+4=17

→ Y=17-9-4=4 (oz of Iron)

That's all! So, if you have table values, you can just re-write the equations and doing it stepwise, as it is shown here, you can manage to calculate every value you need :)
